Dummett’s fifth cap came in the Wrexham friendly victory over Trinidad and Tobago in March.

“He wants to concentrate on club football so I’ve got to respect that,” Giggs said.

“I’m not fussed about that. He’s playing in the Premier League, he’s a good defender, but I’ve got options.”

Williams, however, is not one of them for the time being after failing to find a club since his summer release from Everton.

The 86-times capped Williams – the third most capped player in Welsh football history – could complete a move to Bristol City this week but, for now, Chris Mepham, Ethan Ampadu, James Lawrence, Tom Lockyer and Joe Rodon remain his centre-back options.

Ashley Williams is close to completing a move to Bristol City, according to Ryan Giggs (Nick Potts/PA).

“Ash is yet to find a club,” Giggs said. “I think he’s more or less signed for Bristol City, I know he’s in talks with them, but he’s not done a pre-season.

“I spoke with Ash and he was fine about it. He hasn’t let me down and it wasn’t an easy decision.

“But we have players who are playing, especially in his position. He still remains my captain.”

Gareth Bale, now back in favour at Real Madrid after an aborted move to the Chinese Super League, will captain Wales next month.

Wales are six points adrift of Group E leaders Hungary, albeit with a game in hand, and three behind Croatia and Slovakia.
